Crysis 2 Part 17 walkthrough covering objectives, collectibles like Dog Tags and New York Souvenirs, and tactical options for City Hall.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the concrete pedestal near a Teddy Bear, jump onto the staging to return to the rooftop café. Alternatively, use the stairwells and lobby of the building to the north, where you first entered the skybridge, but be aware of multiple Cell enemies.
  2. 2
    Toss a grenade at the glass-roofed entry door. Grab an HMG from a rooftop mount and use it to eliminate the three Cell guards in the lobby.
  3. 3
    Enter the security office. Drop the HMG and use the call box on the desk to call the executive elevator.
  4. 4
    Download the “E-Mail” near the computer console and take the “New York Souvenir” from the long counter.
  5. 5
    Leave the HMG as you cannot keep it. Take the elevator down to meet Gould.
  6. 6
    Turn left and grab the “Dog Tag” from the floor beyond the rope barrier.
  7. 7
    Move toward the waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination) to meet Gould in the main vault. After Gould secures the chamber, a technician will begin a “Deep Suit Scan,” revealing Alcatraz is crushed inside the suit, which is keeping him alive.
  8. 8
    The scan transmits a broadcast, leading to your discovery by Commander Lockhart and Cell guards. Gould is taken away, and Tara Strickland intervenes, causing Lockhart to stand down. You are then taken to Hargreaves at the Prism.
  9. 9
    A long cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) plays, interrupted by seismic tremors. Alcatraz is forced onto a chopper that crashes when an alien artifact erupts. After a Cell-Ceph confrontation, use interactive commands to activate a defibrillator. The suit reboots, and you face Ceph after they eliminate your Cell captors.
  10. 10
    Use the DSG-1 and the Marshall shotgun to battle the Ceph. Grab the Nano Catalyst if possible, but retreat left and try to stay alive. Your objective is to reach a safe distance from the alien spore source, but the waypoint (a marker on your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) or HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) indicating your objective) updates slowly. The chapter ends as you and a Devastator approach the objective.

Chapter 8: Seat Of Power

  1. Jacob “Jack” Hargreaves contacts Alcatraz via the suit, discussing past troubles and giving a pep talk.
  2. You retain your weapons. Use the shotgun on Harvesters, as you can re-supply later.
  3. As Hargreaves lectures, kill the robotic insect-like Harvesters. A shotgun blast or Nanosuit melee strike yields 20 Nano Catalyst.
  4. Proceed through the city streets, entering “Evacuation Post C1”. Jump atop the barrier, move through EMAT structures, past civilians, through decontamination showers and a makeshift morgue, into a metal hut with body bags.
  5. Grab the “Dog Tag” from the rear table to the right of the entrance. Continue to the stairwells leading outside.
  6. Jump down from the walkway, cross the rubble, and enter the flagged entry at the waypoint.
  7. Download the “E-Mail” on the desktop. Hop the counter and grab grenades if needed. If you don't have the Marshall, grab the one on the desk or its ammo. Keep the DSG-1.
  8. Go up the stairs and move through the building, shooting or bashing Harvesters. Grab the “New York Souvenir” from the table to the left of the doorway with ammo crates ahead.
  9. Grab ammo and grenades, then continue up the stairs, turn right, right again through the lobby, and up the four stairwells on the southwest side.
  10. Go to the waypoint and interact with the door near the ammo crates. You will be told to break into City Hall.

Tactical Options:

  • Observe: Allows reconnaissance of the enemy below. The area is teeming with Ceph.
  • Ledge Grab: Leads to a less traveled balcony for safer flanking of the Ceph and access to additional ammo.

Walkthrough (Continued):

  1. Select “Ledge Grab” for a stealthier approach. Silently snipe any Ceph on your path. Remain cloaked to mask your position, uncloaking for a silenced shotgun kill if necessary.
  2. Select “Ledge Grab,” recharge, cloak, and jump down. Your priority is reaching the stairwell on the opposite end of the ledge. Collect any Catalyst from earlier kills but do not go out of your way to avoid discovery.
  3. Jump onto the ledge and be prepared for a patrolling alien. Re-supply and quickly continue east along the terrace, recharging on the stairwell, which provides decent cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (an object that obstructs enemy fire).
  4. Check the area below for Ceph. Do not start a firefight. Go down the stairwell and move ahead along the wall.
Tips
  • A shotgun blast or Nanosuit melee strike on Harvesters yields 20 Nano Catalyst.
  • The “Ledge Grab” option offers a safer flanking route with additional ammo.
  • Remain cloaked when using the “Ledge Grab” to mask your position.
  • The stairwell on the terrace provides decent cover.
